Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
Forward genetic analysis of cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor resistance and wall hydrolysis sensitivity.
(2014-09-01)
The functional analysis of components involved in cellulose biosynthesis is central in
understanding cell wall assembly and structure in plants. We conducted screens using the
herbicides, isoxaben and flupoxam which inhibit ...
Evaluating social and cognitive effects of video games using electroencephalography.
(2014-05-01)
Games User Research (GUR) is an area of evaluative player research and human-computer interaction (HCI) that aims to improve games, focused on a player’s understanding and on their experience when playing games. In this ...
Non-precious metal catalysts prepared by chemical functionalization of carbon surfaces.
(2014-08-01)
New sources of power are of great interest as attempts to make smaller, more convenient and environmentally friendly sources are being investigated. Hydrogen fuel cells are a way to combine both an effective method of power ...
Object-centric temporal navigation for dynamic information visualizations.
(2014-08-01)
We introduce object-centric temporal navigation for time-varying information visualizations.
In our approach, navigation through time is controlled by interacting directly with
any data item, enabling simultaneous exploration ...
The role of Cladophora glomerata as a habitat for bacterial communities and a reservoir of antibiotic resistance.
(2014-09-01)
This thesis studied the filamentous alga Cladophora glomerata’s role in providing a refuge for antibiotic resistance and analyzed the community composition of the bacterial colonizers of C. glomerata mats by taking samples ...
Towards a concurrent implementation of keyword search over relational databases.
(2014-06-01)
Vast amounts of data are stored in relational databases. Traditionally, querying this data required a deep understanding of the underlying schema in addition to knowledge of a query language such as structured query language ...
The effects of select non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on green and brown hydra
(2014-04-01)
Effluent pharmaceuticals are released at low concentrations into aquatic ecosystems through waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important contaminants in water cycles. ...
Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
(2014-08-01)
Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however
the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this
study, the decomposition process was compared between ...
Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
(2014-12-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that infects the abomasum of
ruminants. While several classes of anthelmintic drugs exist to control nematode infections,
H. contortus is resistant to all of them. Therefore, ...
